There are different sized units including 3 studio flatlets and 2 one-bedroomed garden cottages. Craighall Park has large (2000 sq m. properties) which means that the accommodation is not crowded and allows for privacy and peace. Guests often comment on how secluded the guest house is - a suburban oasis filled with the sounds of garden birds yet so convenient for business and leisure hubs. Breakfasts are served on the patio which opens out onto the garden in summer and is warmed by a roaring log fire in winter. Breakfasts (full or continental) can also be served in the seclusion of your courtyard should you wish.

Liz is a warm and welcoming host. The room was more than comfortable and so much thought has gone into providing everything and more that one could want whilst staying there. The breakfasts are just amazing and her staff are extremely professional and helpful. A beautiful place that is so peaceful and relaxing. An absolute gem and would recommend this guesthouse and will definitely be back when I'm next in SA.
